Forever love

In
a mother’s womb were two babies. One asked the other: “Do you believe
in life after delivery?” The other replied, “Why, of course. There has
to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to prepare ourselves
for what we will be later.” “Nonsense” said the first. “There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?” The second said, “I don’t know, but
there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our legs
and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we can’t
understand now.” The first replied, “That is absurd. Walking is
impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The umbilical cord
supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so
short. Life after delivery is to be logically excluded.”

The second
insisted, “Well I think there is something and maybe it’s different than
it is here. Maybe we won’t need this physical cord anymore.” The
first replied, “Nonsense. And moreover if there is life, then why has no
one has ever come back from there? Delivery is the end of life, and in
the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and silence and
oblivion. It takes us nowhere.” “Well, I don’t know,” said the second, “but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.” The first replied “Mother? You actually believe in Mother? That’s laughable. If Mother exists then where is She now?”
The second said, “She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We
are of Her. It is in Her that we live. Without Her this world would not
and could not exist.”

Said the first: “Well I don’t see Her, so it is only logical that She doesn’t exist.”
To which the second replied, “Sometimes, when you’re in silence and you
focus and you really listen, you can perceive Her presence, and you can
hear Her loving voice, calling down from above.
